The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and the Baltimore Ravens are teaming up on Thanksgiving night. BSO Music Director Marin Alsop, 32 musicians and a group of OrchKids will perform at the Ravens' Thanksgiving Night home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It will be a nationally broadcast performance on NBC.

Marin Alsop, the Orchestra and the OrchKids, will join the Ravens Cheerleaders and Baltimore's Marching Ravens during the halftime entertainment on the field. This is the first time the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra has partnered with the Ravens and marks their first appearance at M&T Bank Stadium.

"We have been wanting to work together with the Ravens, I am so glad that we are finally able to collaborate with our home team and Super Bowl champions this Thanksgiving," said Maestra Alsop. "We like to think of the BSO as the third major league team here in Baltimore and Purple Fever runs deep amongst the musicians, staff and board at the BSO. It is truly a thrill to be able to perform on the RavensÆ turf and be part of a national broadcast."

"We are excited and proud that the OrchKids and Marin Alsop could come visit us today," said Dick Cass, Ravens president. "They and the musicians of the BSO represent the best of the Baltimore and we are thrilled to be associated with them."
